The Anointed Ones
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.” (Luke 4:18-19)
Today’s Morsel: There are two things that you cannot be taught, or you cannot learn. The one is the anointing of God, and the other is spiritual sensitivity. These things come only from God. Man may put some of their honor on a man or woman, but they cannot put Spiritual things upon them. If God doesn’t give it, it’s not given. Do you ever stop and consider why God saved you and for what purpose He gave you His Spirit? Not only is His Spirit given to us to make us his sons and daughters, but we are also anointed for many other purposes and reasons. Things such as to show others the way (Mark 16:15-18); Pull others out of the fire (Jude 23); To share with others what true love is (1 John 4:7-13); To show that He has brought us out of darkness (1 Peter 2:9-10); and we are to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent us to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord (Luke 4:8-19). The same anointing which was upon Jesus, is now upon us, and we must execute those same purposes for which He said that it was given.
Sing: Anointing fall on me, anointing fall on me; Let the power of the Holy Ghost, fall on me; Anointing fall on me.
Thought For Today: “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” (1 John 2:27)
